}Cost: 1 API credit per write.
A policy outside the workspace answers
curl -X DELETE "https://api.alura.io/v1/workspace/return-policies/35002" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ALURA_API_KEY" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: 5f0c8e2a-4b1d-4c3e-9a7f-2b5d6e8f0a1c"
404. Needs the shop:write scope and the owner or admin role in the workspace. REST only: there is no MCP tool for it. Send an Idempotency-Key so a retry never writes twice (Idempotency).
This deletes the policy on your live Etsy shop, and it cannot be reverted. A policy that only drafts use is deleted.
A policy that listings use
While an active listing uses the policy, Etsy refuses the delete:409 conflict naming Etsy’s reason, in_use. To keep those listings, use Move policy listings instead. Etsy then deletes this policy itself, so no delete call is needed after it.
The answer
200:deleted: true, with itschange.202: the change, while Etsy is still answering or Alura is checking whether it landed. Follow it with Get change.
dry_run=true shows what the write would send and the Etsy calls it would make. It sends, charges and records nothing, but counts toward the per-minute write limit. A write Etsy refuses is not charged.Authorizations
An API key: Authorization: Bearer alura_sk_....
Headers
Makes a retry safe: the same key with the same request within 24 hours answers from the first write (with Idempotent-Replayed: true) and never writes to Etsy twice; a write that failed with nothing written (Retry-After set) is tried again under it. The same key with a different request is a 409 conflict; while the first request still runs, 409 idempotency_processing (or the same 202). Required for relative changes such as adjust_price, and to add a listing file, image or video, or to change the alt text of an image (each uploads to Etsy, so a blind retry would upload again); a dry_run=true needs none.
Required string length:
1 - 255Path Parameters
The Etsy return policy ID. A return policy outside the workspace is 404.
Pattern:
^[0-9]{1,20}$Example:
"35002"
Query Parameters
true: plan the write and send nothing: what it would change, the Etsy calls it would make, and nothing reserved, charged or recorded. Free; counts toward the per-minute write limit.
Response
OK: the write landed on Etsy (or, with dry_run=true, what it would do).
- Option 1
- Option 2
Allowed value:
"workspace.return_policy"The deleted return policy, as a string.
The Etsy shop ID, as a string.
Deleted on Etsy.
When Etsy answered the write.
The write: its change ID and what landed.
